Landreth exited the event in third place, taking home a good $90,071 for his efforts.

Cartwright took a 2-to-1 lead to move into heads-up with Steve Klein. Klein got a good start, but could not maintain his momentum. On the final hand, it was a pre-flop all-in with Cartwright holding As 10h and Kelin having 4h 4d. The board ran Qc Jh 5c 8d 10s to give Cartwright the pot as well as the coveted title. Klein took home an impressive $122,802 for his runner-up finish.
